Chapter 81: The Rebellious Minister
However, it was said that Sun Rong led the army of Luoyang all the way to hurry, and four days later it had arrived at the city of Jinyang, where Luoyang was located, and after the state, it was Sizhou, where Luoyang was located.
Although the news of Yuan Yao's death has not yet reached here, Jinyang City is still closed with its gates, as if it is facing a great enemy. A head poked out from the top of the city, and it was none other than the Bingzhou Thorn Shi Humer. Hu Mo glanced at Sun Rong's army under the city and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”
Sun Rong stepped forward as usual and replied: "I am the general of Hengzhou Assassin Shi Longxiang Huaihou Sun Rong, recently exterminated the thief, and was ordered to return to Beijing to face the saint, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient." ”
Therefore, all the cities he had passed through before were within Sun Rong's sphere of influence, so every time he only needed to report his name, he could travel unhindered, but Hu Mo did not accept this: "Your Majesty, did you let the general take the army to see Your Majesty?" If you want me to let you go, you can do it, but you can only let General Sun enter the city alone. ”
Sun Rong was speechless for a while, and retreated to his own camp in a huff.
Han Yan approached: "Does the general know who is talking in the city?" ”
Sun Rong said angrily: "I don't know! ”
Han Yan: "It seems that the general is bent on fighting, and he really knows very little about the affairs of the court in the rear, this person is the brother of the general Hu Shen and the father of the queen Hu Bizhu, Hu Mo." ”
Sun Rong gritted his teeth: "No wonder you are so unsympathetic!" It turned out to be surnamed Hu! ”
Han Yan said lightly: "Can the general capture this city?" ”
Sun Rong was stunned: "How can Hu Mo say that he is also a member of the imperial court, it seems inappropriate to do this, right?" ”
Han Yan: "Does the general think that from the moment the army was launched, there was still a way back?" If you stop at this moment, only Hu Shen's butcher's knife awaits the general. ”
Sun Rong groaned slightly, and replied to the resoluteness on the battlefield in the past: "It is General Ben who has lost his words, and the military advisor is not to blame." Re-out of the column shouted at Hu Mo, "Hu Tingshi blocked and delayed the general's trip, and when he saw His Majesty, the general will definitely play truthfully." ”
Hu Mo sneered: "The general is at his own convenience." ”
Sun Rong turned around and ordered: "Detour!" ”
In an instant, the 50,000-strong army had disappeared without a trace, Hu Mo looked down at the open space under the city, and scolded in a low voice: "Villain, look at how long you are arrogant!" ”
At night, the city of Jinyang was silent, and several soldiers in charge of patrolling on the city wall couldn't bear to be sleepy, and secretly dozed off in a corner, unaware that there were more than a dozen black-clothed people outside the city who were climbing the rope to the city wall.
A soldier patted his face and continued his patrol. Another soldier yawned and said, "You have worked hard, let me squint for a while, and I will come to you later." ”
"Okay, don't be allowed to play ...... for a while" Before he finished speaking, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes were wide in shock, and he forgot to shout. When he realized the seriousness of the situation and wanted to greet his other companions, he was stabbed in the neck by the man in black. After a pillar of incense, the other patrol soldiers also lost their lives in the same confusion as him.
The city gate drawbridge slowly fell, and Sun Rong rushed in with a roar. The city was suddenly noisy and noisy, waking up the countless people in the houses along the way, hiding behind the windows to watch secretly, trembling, and couldn't understand why there was such a large army suddenly in this Jinyang City.
When Sun Rong led his army to break into the Assassin's Mansion, Hu Mo and his wives and concubines were busy packing up and preparing to escape like headless flies, and they were all still wearing only middle clothes. Suddenly looking back and seeing Sun Rong and others with angry eyebrows and murderous eyes, Hu Mo's face suddenly turned like earth, he lost his mind, and the burden in his hand slipped to the ground: "General Sun...... It's coming so fast! ”
Sun Rong stepped forward and patted Hu Mo on the shoulder: "Hu Thorn Shi is about to travel far away, and General Ben doesn't dare to be unhappy!" ”
Hu Mo fell to the ground weakly: "General Sun wants to borrow the way, Hu has no opinion." ”
Sun Rong was noncommittal, and turned to look at Han Yan: "Things have reached such a point, how do you think the military advisor should end?" ”
Han Yan: "Just announce to the world Hu Shen's evil deeds of killing the king, the general is loyal to him, and he raises righteous soldiers to hoe and rape, and the name is right, and he will definitely respond to every call, and the momentum is like a bamboo!" ”
Sun Rong squinted at Hu Mo's family: "Killed? ”
Han Yan: "You must kill, otherwise you will be justified!" ”
The two chatted to themselves, as if they treated the Humo family as air, completely ignoring their feelings. Suddenly, among Hu Mo's wives and concubines, who were crying in fear, a beautiful woman pushed away the others like crazy and rushed to the door. But now, how could she escape, and after taking two steps, Sun Wei ended her life with a knife in the face, causing bursts of screams one after another.
"General, a baby was found in the backyard." Several soldiers pushed and shoved a middle-aged maid who trembled like chaff in two streams to the front of the hall. The maid held a baby in her arms, as if she could feel the murderous aura in the hall, and she couldn't stop crying.
"General Sun! General Sun! Hu Mo moved his knees in the direction of Sun Rong little by little, "My son Cunyi is only two months old, please ask the general to open up and let him live!" ”
Sun Rong waved his hand: "Kill!" Sun Wei, who had long been ready to go, immediately led the soldiers to raise the butcher knife in their hands and swung it at the unarmed people in the mansion, regardless of men, women and children.
Half an hour later, more than 100 members of the Hu family, led by Hu Mo and their two young sons, Hu Shenyan and Hu Cunyi, have become ghosts under Sun Rong's knife. In recent decades, the Hu clan has invaded the government and the opposition, covered the sky with one hand, and is accustomed to the days of being high, but who would have thought that today's identity would become a talisman for Hu Mo's family and provide a paving stone for Sun Rong's ambition.
With Hu Mo's lesson, no one dared to stop Sun Rong after that, wherever the army went, all the military supplies and grass needed to give a hint, and someone would respectfully offer them, and they would arrive at Luoyang City in a few days. However, this incident also reminded Hu Bizhu and others in the city to use these precious days to arrange corresponding defensive measures. Luoyang City, as the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, is already high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Hu Shen has transferred many troops from neighboring counties to cooperate with the Yulin Army to defend, Rao is Sun Rong is army is like a god, and it is not easy to break through this strong city.
In the Lantian Palace, Hu Bizhu roared almost out of control: "Rebellious minister Sun Rong, kill my father, you must capture him alive for the mourning family, and the mourning family will kill him personally." ”
Hu Shouzhong promised: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, Luoyang City has the solidity of Jintang, and the Yulin Army has the courage to educate, although he Sun Rong was lucky enough to suppress a few bandits, but when he arrives in Luoyang City, the ministers will teach him to obediently bow his head and arrest." ”
A hint of relief passed, and Hu Bizhu's mood calmed down a little: "Yulin Supervisor is full of pride, and the mourning family and the Great Wei Jiangshan will be entrusted to you." His eyes fell on Yuan Ye, "Does King Puyang regret it?" ”
Yuan Ye was told about the central matter, and his old face was slightly red, and he blamed himself for being confused by the temptation of this auxiliary government that day, and did not consider the risk of this matter, so he willingly stood on the same front with the Hu family, who had been called the sinner of Great Wei. Although Hu Shouzhong swore an oath, they had never been on the battlefield after all, and whether they could defeat Sun Rong or not, Yuan Ye did not dare to assert. Although he thought so in his heart, the words he said were still righteous and strict: "Yuan Ye, as Wei Chen, is a newspaper publisher. ”
Unlike Yuanye, Hu Shen is quite confident: "King Puyang doesn't have to be too pessimistic, he Sun Rong is not a Daluo Immortal, the old minister doesn't believe it, with our heavy defense, is it possible that he can still fly into this Luoyang City?" ”
And outside the city at this moment, Sun Rong and Han Yan were also discussing the plan to attack the city.
Han Yan's face was slightly solemn: "General Sun is almost sure that he will break the city, after all, this Yulin army has repelled Xing Feng, and its combat power cannot be underestimated." ”
Sun Rong said with a smile: "In terms of strategy, the military division is unparalleled in the world, and the general is happy and convinced, but when it comes to conquest, Sun is slightly better." As the saying goes, the general is incapable of exhausting the three armies, and today's Yulin is no longer the Yulin who defeated Xing Feng that day. General Ben's concern is no longer whether the city can be breached, but how to minimize the casualties of our army. ”
Sun Chaozong suddenly said: "General Yu, military advisor, according to the news obtained by the last general, Hu Shen is suspicious of the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Huazidu, and has already taken away his military power. ”
Sun Rong's eyes flashed: "Although Huazidu and his people are idle at home, after all, they are in charge of an army, and many of the generals defending the city must be his old department, and they still have a lot of connections with our Huaiwu, so we can try to win them over and let them rebel against the defenders as internal responses." ”
Sun Wei: "During the period when General Hua was recuperating from his injuries in Huaiwu, he had a good personal relationship with the last general, and the last general was willing to sneak into the city in person to persuade General Hua to surrender. ”
Sun Rong and Han Yan nodded in unison: "In this way, we will wait for Jiayin here." ”
After the meeting, Sun Rong galloped around Luoyang City for a while, and while distracting, he also inspected the terrain by the way, but saw that the city was thick and there were many sentry posts. At intervals on the city wall, there was a square protruding building called a "horse face", which greatly increased the scope of defense and observation, and Sun Rong was also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, but he had never seen such a design. The Jinyong City and the Pishan Battalion in the northwest are stationed with heavy troops to defend the Beijing Division. Not only that, Luoyang City has three city walls from the outside to the inside, namely the outer city, the imperial city, and the palace city, which means that it will cost at least three times more to conquer this city than the rest of the cities. After such careful calculation, the city in front of him is simply a world of difference from the cities he conquered before, he was too confident before, if he wanted to rely on this 50,000 horses to capture such a strong city, even if he was lucky to win, it would be a tragic victory.
In addition to himself, Han Yan, Jiang Rusong, and Sun Chaozong also gathered here anxiously waiting for Sun Wei's return.
"General Sun Wei is back!" Although the voice of the sentry outside the camp was not very loud, the four Sun Rong, who heard the movement, couldn't help but get up suddenly and looked outside the camp.
Sun Wei looked frustrated and shook his head slowly.
A chill surged into everyone's hearts, and Sun Rong sighed: "Since he is unwilling, then we have to think of another way." ”
Sun Chaozong still didn't give up: "Have you analyzed the cause of His Majesty's death with him?" ”
"How can you not say it?" Sun Wei exclaimed, "But he has seen it more thoroughly than we do, and he didn't need me to say more, and he also asked me to tell the general that no matter what the reason, the foreign minister's unauthorized raising of troops is a rebellion." ”
Sun Chaozong sat weakly on the Hu bed.
Han Yan: "Since this road is not passable, then we don't need to think about it anymore, let's add up and add up together, whether there is any other way!" ”
Sun Wei sat down and joined Sun Rong's meditation team of four people. The night was getting darker, and there was still no way to do it, in fact, except for Sun Rong and Han Yan who occasionally talked to each other, the other three were all looking at them with blank eyes at the moment, and their minds were blank. Since Rong, Sun Rong has always been able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity and win by surprise, and they have long been accustomed to acting according to Sun Rong's decision, and gradually they have lost their opinions.
"Report, there is a person who claims to be the Marquis of Chongxin who asked to see the general."
"Chongxin Hou ......" Sun Rong thought for a long time, and finally realized that it was Cui Mingyou, "Please!" ”
Someone came to the account and gave Sun Rong a slight salute: "My lord sent a villain to tell the general that he can help the general break the city!" ”
Sun Rong and the others looked at each other, blessings fell from the sky, and they couldn't believe their ears.
